We all know that Google (with Chrome-ium) has at least close to 90% of the browser marketshare on the internet.

Which is your primary browser on your computer?

Remember that Brave, Opera and Edge are Chromium derivatives. I consider Safari to be separate since it's Webkit and not Blink.

@sa0bse Vivaldi was my main browser for PC but I switched to a new machine recently and I was too lazy to install it again so I use Firefox now because it was default in my system

@selfisekai I've forgot about Vivaldi, but that's Chromium as well... So yeah, that doesn't help with the Google monopoly. So good choice to switch over :)

@sa0bse but is really that kind of monopoly bad? I mean, when Google wanted to do changes to web extensions that would break ad blockers, Vivaldi said they were ready not to merge these changes and start their own extension store

@selfisekai Competition tend to make innovation happen in several ways. Especially it's great to have competition in implementations around open standards. An open standard isn't worth very much as a standard if there's only one implementation that works or that people use.

@sa0bse @selfisekai or even better, have multiple standards https://xkcd.com/927/ 😋
